It's not for everyone. We all have different styles of travel. In particular, those who prefer to drive 2-300 miles per day maximum, won't have a need to boondock. You can do that in 6 hours maximum, and have plenty of time for a leisurely setup and breakdown, during daylight hours.
We often take a particular 1,100 mile trip. I can handle 600 miles on day one, boondock for some no-hassle shut-eye, and make my final destination before sundown on day 2. Then we'll do the full hook-up/setup thing and take the shower we missed the night before. Turns what could be 3 or 4 days travel into less than 2 full days. Makes sense for us.
Not saying you travel any particular way, I have no idea, just giving an example of why it works for us.
